JESUS BETRAYAL AT GETHSEMANE

 Matthew 26: 36-46

36 Then Jesus went with His Disciples

To a Place called Gethsemane,

And He said to them,

'SIT HERE WHILE I GO OVER THERE AND PRAY.'

37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee

Along with Him,

And He began to be Sorrowful and Troubled.

38 Then He said to them,

'MY SOUL IS OVERWHELMED WITH SORROW

TO THE POINT OF DEATH.

STAY HERE AND KEEP WATCH WITH ME.'

39 Going a little farther,

He fell with His Face to the Ground

And Prayed,

'MY FATHER, IF IT IS POSSIBLE,

MAY THIS CUP BE TAKEN FROM ME.

YET NOT AS I WILL,

BUT AS YOU WILL.'

40 Then He returned to His Disciples

And found them Sleeping.

'COULD YOU MEN NOT KEEP WATCH WITH ME

FOR ONE HOUR?' He asked.

41 WATCH AND PRAY

SO THAT YOU WLL NOT FALL INTO TEMPATION.

THE SPIRIT IS WILLING,

BUT THE BODY IS WEAK.'

42 He went away a Second time and Prayed,

'MY FATHER,

IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE

FOR THIS CUP TO BE TAKEN AWAY

UNLESS I DRINK IT,

MAY YOUR WILL BE DONE.'

43 When He came back,

He again found the Sleeping,

Because their eyes were heavy.

44 So He left them and went away once more

And prayed the Third time,

Saying the same thing.

45 Then He returned to the Disciples

And said to them,

ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING AND RESTING?

LOOK THE HOUR IS NEAR,

AND THE SON OF MAN IS BETRAYED

INTO THE HANDS OF SINNERS.

46 RISE, LET US GO!

HERE COMES MY BETRAYER!'

(Matthew 26:36-46)
